Guest beeboy Posted July 13, 2003 Report Share Posted July 13, 2003 VFS: Cannot open root device "" or 48:05 Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 48:05 Can anyone tell me what this means. Fresh install of Mandrake 9.1. I suspect a hardware conflict. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlc Posted July 13, 2003 Report Share Posted July 13, 2003 What kind of hardware do you have? Have you used the pc for Linux before? http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/hardware.php3 For HCL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest beeboy Posted July 14, 2003 Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 Thanks cybrjackel. I was asking for another and it may be a bad iso or cd at this point. It seems to be a pretty general error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlc Posted July 14, 2003 Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 Well if a new CD doesn't do it, list out what kind of hardware your using. Anytime you have a problem like that, it's easier for all of us to narrow down problems by the kind of hardware being used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
